As the seasons passed and his missions continued, Marco mastered the tagging system and the filtering options and unwrangled ship names. Now his searches were the most precise and detailed that the Great Khan could wish and there was no question or curiosity which they did not satisfy. And yet each piece of information about a place recalled to the emperor’s mind that first freeform tag with which Marco had designated the place. The new fact received a meaning from that tag and also added to the tag a new meaning. Perhaps, Kublai thought, the archive is nothing but a zodiac of the mind’s phantasms. “On the day when I know all the tags,” he asked Marco, “shall I be able to possess my fanfic, at last?” And the Venetian answered: “Sire, do not believe it. On that day you will be a tag among tags.”

penelope and clytemnestra are often seen as literary foils to each other, the ever-devoted loyal wife vs the cheating, scheming, disloyal one. but i think it's more interesting to see it in the way that these two women are so different because their husbands are so different from each other

#I live in nz#Once upon a time I ordered something from Amazon#And the package LEFT THE USA it got halfway here#And then Amazon sent me a message saying ''oh sorry we don't deliver this item to your location actually :/''#And the package returned to the USA#I've never ever gotten over this.
